| lsuactiafner | no compiling | 12:40 |

| adamh | chaps0063: Yeah, you've got to have a non-US apt-get source. | 03:20 |
| yaaar | what's different about recovery mode, anyway? once i booted that way it just took me to X, and everything seemed fully functional... | 03:20 |
| chaps0063 | I see. I did not know that. | 03:20 |
| adamh | chaps0063: Anyway, search the Ubuntu Wiki | 03:20 |
| chaps0063 | adamh, thanks. | 03:20 |
| adamh | chaps0063: It's certainly *possible* to play them. Just illegal in the States. And everybody does it anyway, because the DMCA is the most idiotic piece of legislature known to man. | 03:20 |
| chaps0063 | adamh, hehe. | 03:21 |
| jwb | it's not illegal of course. what is difficult is distributing libdvdcss | 03:21 |
| adamh | jwb: It's illegal to use libdvdcss on a computer in the United States. | 03:21 |
| jwb | no, it's not | 03:21 |

| Eddie | lol the DMCA | 03:22 |
| Eddie | what a load of bollocks | 03:23 |
| Eddie | its almost as rediculous as software patents | 03:23 |
| adamh | dhruv: What seems to be the problem? | 03:23 |
| dhruv | i had a question | 03:23 |
| Eddie | if the powerful few had their way | 03:23 |

| dhruv | what's that | 03:24 |
| Ubuntian | is a dvd for the xbox playable on a pc? | 03:24 |

| dhruv | where is that at? | 03:24 |

| jwb | or if you're not root, type 'sudo apt-get install wine' | 03:24 |

| toran | how can I limit my upload speed with linux? | 03:27 |
| dhruv | thanks nickrud | 03:27 |
| AvvY | xero: apt-get is a command for downloading applications which are available through the repositories. when u change the repositories always run "apt-get update" and "apt-get upgrade". apt is simply the back end of Synaptic packet manager (the GUI) | 03:27 |
| nickrud | dhruv np, everyone's new sometime | 03:27 |
| dhruv | i dont see wine, i click search, and typed in wine | 03:27 |
| adamh | xero: apt is a command-line program which installs new programs. You can use System -> Administration -> Symantic Package Manager which provides a nice interface to it. | 03:27 |
| dhruv | and nothing came up | 03:27 |
| dhruv | is it a package? | 03:27 |
| === poningru [~poningru@pool-71-101-67-91.tampfl.dsl-w.verizon.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||

| tonkar | it worked :D, with nvidia-glx it worked! i ponly had to enable it with sudo nvidia-glx.config enabled ;) | 03:27 |
| AvvY | dhru: u will need to add the wine respositorie | 03:27 |
| tonkar | thanks a lot who helped me | 03:28 |
| AvvY | dhruv: check out www.winehq.com | 03:28 |
| adamh | dhruv: You need to add a source. Go to Settings -> repositories and enable the Universe one | 03:28 |

| xero | AvvY and adamh: so like 'sudo apt-get install w32codecs', i could have done the same thing Synaptic Package Manager? | 03:29 |
| adamh | xero: yes | 03:29 |
| anto9us | toran: I've not used it myself but the shapecfg package may do that | 03:29 |
| dhruv | nope | 03:29 |
| AvvY | xero: yes, but it is much easier using apt-get | 03:29 |
| dhruv | ok im at the synaptic window | 03:29 |
| dhruv | and it has a list of software sources | 03:29 |
| nickrud | dhruv ok. may I pm you? | 03:29 |
| adamh | xero: personally, I *always* use the command-line, but I'd never suggest that people use the command-line on #ubuntu, if there's a way around it | 03:29 |
| dhruv | yes | 03:29 |
| dhruv | plesae | 03:29 |
| AvvY | xero: to use apt-get u need to know the name of the file u want to get. if u dont, synaptic is good because u can use it to search for programs | 03:29 |
| toran | anto9us: you rock :) | 03:30 |
| toran | anto9us: is it a graphical tool? | 03:30 |
| xero | adamh and AvvY: thanks.. one more thing.. what if the program i want to install isnt in the repositories? | 03:30 |
| yaaar | cool. pulled the cables out of the offending dvd drive, and machine boots again. | 03:30 |
| yaaar | whew | 03:31 |
| AvvY | xero: then you need to add the respository to the list, or u can use "wget" and enter the site address *i think* thats right | 03:31 |
| yaaar | k guys i'm gonna go away for awhile....gotta put the ubuntu box on the cable connection raw for a bit to try out asterisk........ | 03:32 |
| xero | avvy: and a repository is the location of packages, like a server hosting certain software? | 03:33 |

| bob2 | islander: to do what? | 04:07 |

| Selanit | The "luck" part comes in because you just have to hope that there's somebody in the channel when you ask who knows the answer, or who can at least point you in the right direction. | 04:07 |
| kevcool | if there's a process using that mount you can find it with fuser <mount_point> . then kill whatever process comes up | 04:07 |

| bob2 | islander: wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats | 04:08 |
| othernoob | Nic he still can unmount it manually | 04:08 |
| bluefoxicy | bob2: volunteers, who I don't know, and am polite to consistently feed me crap that doesn't help because they assume I can't figure out what my problem is; for example I did say that when I said "no" to the license agreement (which was obviously displayed if I said no), then future attempts to install a package would automatically fail, and purging doesn't fix the problem | 04:08 |
| bluefoxicy | bob2: two of the following answers were, "Your question level is probably set too low," and "apt-get --purge" | 04:08 |
| bluefoxicy | the first of course would be fine if it didn't actually ask me the first time; the second, I said i tried that already | 04:08 |
| bob2 | bluefoxicy: er, you're being rude right now | 04:09 |
| bob2 | also, just be quiet | 04:09 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | lol | 04:09 |
| bob2 | every channel you come into you disrupt with your rants and "questions" and "great ideas" | 04:09 |
| timo_ | if k(ubuntu) hasn't provided a package, is it ok to use debian apt-sources to install software (thinking about migrating from debian to (k)ubuntu)? | 04:09 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | bob2 you must really track this guy's irc usage. :) | 04:09 |
| synd | bluefoxicy: whats the problem? | 04:09 |
| bob2 | BROKEN_LADDER: now, go use your enormouse shell knowledge to go read the postinst questions for that package | 04:09 |
| bob2 | timo_: not really | 04:10 |
| bob2 | timo_: what package are yo uthinking of? | 04:10 |
| bob2 | timo_: (the universe repository has basically everything debian does) | 04:10 |
| timo_ | bob2: it was just a general quiestion | 04:10 |
| timo_ | aha | 04:10 |
| bluefoxicy | synd: I need java, so I tried to install from the Blackdown sources, and accidentally clicked past the license and said "no" to the j2re1.4; so the j2sdk1.4 installed because I clicked yes there. | 04:10 |
| timo_ | bob2: and what about specific .deb packages found in developers sites? | 04:10 |
| bob2 | bluefoxicy: so go read the postinst and see where it's stored and fix it | 04:10 |
| bob2 | timo_: well, that's a bad idea in general | 04:11 |
| bob2 | timo_: but it depends on what sort of wystem they were compiled on | 04:11 |
| timo_ | bob2: so compile by hand is a better idea? | 04:11 |
| bob2 | timo_: sarge .debs may not run on hoary | 04:11 |
| timo_ | oh | 04:11 |
| bluefoxicy | synd: Reinstalling j2re1.4 fails to preconfigure because it's assuming I'm not going to accept the license; I tried apt-get remove --purge to fix this and it didn't fix it. I tried saying "no" to sdk after attempting a reinstall of it, then reinstalling, and it now behaves the same, thus I'm pretty certain apt is actually assuming I"m going to say no and just not asking now | 04:11 |
| psychonate | timo_, if you add all of Ubuntu's repositories, you can find quite a few packages anyway | 04:11 |
| bob2 | bluefoxicy: dude, stop being silly and go read the postinst | 04:11 |
| bob2 | bluefoxicy: if you don't know what that means, say so, and I'll explain it to you | 04:12 |
| bluefoxicy | bob2: postinst. Hmm. /me starts catting at /dev/postinst. . /proc/postinst. . . uh. | 04:12 |
| bluefoxicy | yeah that'd help. | 04:12 |
| timo_ | so i can ask in here if i need some package at first and of course search myself..if i can't find any solution i guess i have to compile by hand | 04:12 |
| bob2 | bluefoxicy: I thought you were familiar with debian systems.../var/lib/dpkg/info/jdk.postinst (or whatever the package is called) | 04:12 |
| xero | when i rightclick on the desktop icon and choose Eject from the menu, this error comes up: Eject Error Unable to eject media | 04:12 |

| Selanit | timo_: your first stop should be synaptic. Make sure you have all the repositories selected, so that you'll have as wide a selection of officially packaged software to choose from as possible. If it's still not there, and there are no unofficial .debs, you may have to compile by hand. | 04:13 |
| psychonate | timo_, it would first be best to add ubuntu's other repositories, then search; if you can't find the package that way, you can ask in here. | 04:13 |

| lydon | well, I'm using it for testing a web-based jabber client... and it can't connect to itself, and it's the jabber server | 05:42 |
| lydon | but it works perfectly from other workstations, so I could live without it | 05:42 |

| Seveas | helpee, just run: sudo grub-install '(hd0)' after mounting your disks and chrooting into your installed system | 06:24 |
| helpee | i only see .lst, .pl, grub.vim | 06:24 |
| helpee | no grub-install | 06:24 |
| nickrud | IIIEars eh, after I wrote that I wondered exactly what it was about, that's a generality | 06:24 |
| goldfish | flodine: sudo apt-get install mplayer | 06:24 |
| Selanit | Try sudo apt-get install grub and then see if you have grub-install . . . ? | 06:24 |

| IIIEars_Ogging | QMario - Backport error? | 07:12 |
| nickrud | QMario ok, first replace that with http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/ExampleConffiles . | 07:12 |
| dasuberdavud | anyone know how to get ndiswrapper to work on hoarty ? | 07:12 |
| nedwasp | ardob11, i have the same prob, it just hangs on starup, you? | 07:12 |
| nickrud | the better organized version | 07:12 |
| ardob11 | exactly | 07:12 |
| nickrud | in other words, backports are history | 07:13 |
| nedwasp | ardob11, i searched everywhere and couldn't find an answer. | 07:13 |
| nedwasp | maybe here | 07:13 |
| ardob11 | i guess there is some other alternative with real codecs!? | 07:13 |
| nickrud | we'll deal with what's broken after you've replaced your sources.list, and done an aptitude update | 07:13 |

| nalioth | hondje: really? its 2am where i am | 09:11 |
| nickrud | hondje the best method I've found, is run aptitude, and use the command l ~c | 09:11 |
| nalioth | hondje: apt-get --help doesn't? | 09:11 |
| nickrud | that will show you all the configured but not installed packages | 09:11 |
| hondje | nalioth: night shift evilness | 09:11 |
| nickrud | you can then delete them | 09:11 |
| hondje | nickrud: I'll give that a try | 09:11 |

| hondje | I read the backports how-to, when flaming jdong in another forum | 09:46 |
| hondje | basically, just add the breezy repo and apt-get -t breezy build-dep on the pkg (s/breezy/whatever the repo is) until you're close, then apt-get source -b pkg | 09:46 |

| nickrud | hondje I'm listening | 09:59 |
| hondje | one is if you can't get rid of some of the deps, but don't care a whole lot, just apt-get source pkg, cd to to the directory, and edit the 'control' file | 10:00 |
| hondje | in the debian subfolder... and if you want to change options that you'd pass to ./configure (useful for things like transcode), edit the rules file | 10:00 |
| hondje | In control though, you can lie about build deps, if it's just minor version stuff you aren't worried about | 10:01 |
| nickrud | lol, I've spent years trying to avoid that, hondje | 10:01 |
| hondje | yeah, not for the undesperate :) | 10:01 |
| hondje | And if you do that, you ahve to make a real deb too, a la 'fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot' and all that evil hard stuff | 10:02 |

| stevegriff | ah right ok | 11:15 |

I don't know if there's a setting I should change or what? Anybody know what | 11:15 |

| topyli | Ubuntian: you don't really need samba when all you have are linux boxen | 11:15 |
| IIIEars | Hi Ubuntian - good samba question there are gurus here. - gotta be an answer. | 11:15 |
| stevegriff | ok, well I'm moving from gentoo to ubuntu - good move? | 11:16 |
| Ng | nickrud: anything 64bit will run fine in the normal install, anything 32bit will run fine from the chroot, the only time you hit a problem is when you try to mix them, e.g. firefox plugins - if you are running the 64bit firefox, 32bit plugins will not work, which means things like Real, Flash and so on are right out. Personally I like not having Flash and there's a firefox extension that lets you redirect embedded media to an external program, so I have it call the 32bi | 11:16 |
| Ng | stevegriff: I would say so, yes :) | 11:16 |

| fcarlier | hello, anyone have a DVD ISO of ubuntu 5.04 on http server ??? (No bittorrent !) | 11:18 |
| nickrud | Ng so basically the only real issue you've had to deal with is the codecs and third party stuff | 11:19 |
| thenuke | fcarlier: use the official mirrors? | 11:19 |
| Ng | fcarlier: you can download it from the ubuntu site | 11:19 |
| stevegriff | I've been thinking about moving from epiphany to firefox... I take it firefox in ubuntu looks like a gnome app and is just as fast as eipiphany | 11:19 |
| fcarlier | because proxu/firewall in my enterprise !! | 11:19 |
| ka24 | fcarlier: http is not a good protocol to use for a file that big.. use ftp | 11:19 |
| Ubuntian | topyli, so if i don't need samba what do i do? | 11:19 |
| Ng | nickrud: pretty much, yeah. I have an amd64 box at home too and I've been able to run cedega fine out of the choot and so on :) | 11:19 |
| fcarlier | ok : URL FTP ?? | 11:19 |
| Ng | gotta have my Counterstrike fix ;) | 11:19 |
| Ubuntian | someone knows where the wiki is to make a network with ubuntu computers? | 11:20 |
| ka24 | fcarlier: ftp.ubuntu.com or use the mirror list | 11:20 |
| IIIEars | stevegriff - nothing is as fast as epiphany - but firefox is fast enough. | 11:20 |

| drx | hello I have installed ubuntu on my laptop, when i unplugged the power cable, internet cable and optical mouse and booted it the ALSA drivers couldn't identify my soundcard, if i plugged in all cables and booted it again it found it... does anyone know why this hapens ? | 01:24 |
| MetalWolf | does ubuntu use genkernel? | 01:24 |
| MetalWolf | I assume not ? | 01:24 |
| hondje | genkernel? | 01:24 |
| aapelii | MetalWolf: skip that part | 01:25 |
| ana150 | drx: did you try that soundcard stuff what's in the ubuntuguide.org | 01:25 |
| aapelii | MetalWolf: Read about the grub.conf, but if you don't know what you are doing, there is a big chance that your system is going to stop booting... | 01:26 |
| ana150 | i don't know what it does, but i got my sounds working with that :D | 01:26 |
| MetalWolf | thats ok aapelii I've been thru fixing this machines bootloaders several times when using FC3 | 01:26 |

| drx | ana150: no i haven't, i will check it out thanks | 01:26 |
| aapelii | another problem is that automatic kernel upgrades may be history for you | 01:27 |
| thoreauputic | ana150: :) Glad it's working for you ! | 01:27 |
| MetalWolf | if i write grub.conf to the windows partition that would make it hd0 and the linux one hd1? | 01:27 |
| ana150 | not so fast, there's still stuff it does | 01:27 |
| PhantomFreak | aapelii: Yeh, descovered that after I entered the question... It must just not be able to find it! | 01:27 |
| deviant | how can i mount a .nrg image with mount? | 01:28 |
| Amaranth | you can't | 01:28 |
| ana150 | thoreauputic: did you have samekind of problem as i have now, or how did you know that exactly way? ;D | 01:28 |
| Amaranth | you need to find some way to convert it to an iso | 01:28 |
| deviant | Amaranth: k3b can do that ? | 01:28 |
| Amaranth | deviant: I don't know. | 01:29 |
| deviant | hmmm | 01:29 |
| ana150 | deviant: you should check ubuntuguide as well, i think there was some programm listed for that purpose | 01:29 |
| deviant | ana150: ok | 01:29 |
| ana150 | program* | 01:29 |
| thoreauputic | ana150: umm... I did a standard install for Ubuntu - a bare bones install requires knowing what to apt-get (I did that with my old Debian box, using fluxbox and x-window-system-core) | 01:30 |

| lamont-away | # first line of that file to be used as the name. The Debian default | 04:51 |
| lamont-away | # is /etc/mailname. | 04:51 |
| klaas_ | lamonth-away: s/get it/do the job/ | 04:51 |
| lamont-away | klaas_: yes | 04:51 |
| lamont-away | the default is to use hostname --fqdn, and hope that it's right. | 04:51 |
| lamont-away | sadly, for most ubuntu systems, hostname --fqdn returns 'localhost.localdomain./ | 04:52 |
| chillywilly | *thwap* | 04:52 |
| klaas_ | lamonth-away: edit /etc/hosts.. | 04:52 |
| lamont-away | anyway, really really ,really off to the office, and away now. | 04:52 |
| scotth | yeah I'm trying to figure out how to do that now | 04:52 |
| lamont-away | klaas_: yeah - that's what I do. :) | 04:52 |
| lamont-away | scotth: make the first entry of the 127.0.0.1 line be the fqdn | 04:52 |
| lamont-away | instead of "localhost.localdomain" | 04:53 |
| penguinboy | I need assistance with installing a tarball. I first downloaded the tarball and installed it into /home/penguinboy/Desktop/Downloads/. Then, from Konsole I ran #tar xvzf /home/penguinboy/Desktop/Downloads/tellico-0.13.7.tar.gz. The files were then displayd. I then typed #cd tellico-0.13.7.tar.gz and got the error: bash: cd: tellico-etc: No such file or directory. I then typed #cd /home/penguinboy/Desktop/Downloads/tellico-etc and got the followin | 04:53 |
| penguinboy | oy/Desktop/Downloads/tellico-0.13.7.tar.gz: Not a directory | 04:53 |
| lamont-away | later | 04:53 |
| Shufla | BTW. Postfix has _GREAT_ documentation avaiable at http://www.postfix.org/documentation.html | 04:53 |
| scotth | lamont-away, that didn't work, but I'm guessing I can thank libnss-switch for that... thanks for the help though, I'm off to munge main.cf | 04:53 |
| brum | i need to move a mysql db from win to ubuntu, anyone know how to move all of the data? | 04:53 |
| lamont-away | Shufla: much of which is also in the postfix-doc package | 04:53 |
| klaas_ | scotth: Maybe run /etc/init.d/hostname restart | 04:54 |
| Shufla | indeed. and postfix docs are easy to read and ... i just can't stand my poor english knowledge | 04:54 |
| klaas_ | scotth: Sorry, that doesn't work either. | 04:54 |
| scotth | klaas_, that last one got it | 04:54 |
| scotth | thanks | 04:55 |
| klaas_ | scotth: Either restart or /sbin/sysctl -w kernel.domainname="example.com" | 04:55 |

| Stargazer_ | I'm new to Ubuntu 5.04 PPC.. I have a few questions about playing video.. I have no problem installing VLC and it will play video (avi,divx) but never with sound. If I use the Totem player it always plays sounds but no video. Now, I install mplayer and I go to quicktime.com for example and the plugin downloads a movie trailer to 100% and then does nothing more at all.. no sound/no video.. Is there ANY solution in ubuntu that works at | 05:26 |

| sobersabre | how can i get one in 3.4 | 07:27 |
| sobersabre | ? | 07:27 |
| kengur | so far i've heard diff answers from everyone =)) | 07:27 |
| cinlung | what are the advantages of gnome over KDE? Lately I see kde perform better in term of multimedia dn user friendliness | 07:28 |
| sobersabre | i also would like to have icons for mounted CDs/flashdisk | 07:28 |
| HappyFool | sobersabre: if you don't get an answer here, try #kubuntu | 07:28 |
| Amaranth | cinlung: KDE is not better wrt user friendlyness :) | 07:28 |
| kengur | cinlung, and it segfaults about once per 30 min in my experience | 07:28 |
| cyphase | why exactly does ubuntu backport fixes into packages instead of upgrading the package? | 07:28 |
| cyphase | firefox for example | 07:28 |
| cinlung | could you install both Gnome and KDE into one systems so that we can easily swith one from another? | 07:28 |

| thenuke | cinlung: try apt-get install kde :) | 07:29 |
| mjr | cinlung, just install both ubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop packages | 07:29 |
| thenuke | oh yeah, apt-get install kubuntu-desktop.. | 07:29 |
| cinlung | but I thought 1 CD only consist of either KDE or gnome | 07:29 |
| Amaranth | cyphase: when at all possible API, ABI, and feature stability are maintained in a release | 07:29 |
| cinlung | can you install ubuntu first | 07:29 |
| kengur | i'm going back to windows =(( | 07:29 |
| thenuke | well kde works too I bet but kubuntu-desktop package install must more things into it | 07:30 |
| Amaranth | kengur: why? | 07:30 |
| cinlung | and then put in the Kubuntu and install just the gnome? | 07:30 |
| mjr | cinlung, correct, so you use them both or preferrably the network | 07:30 |

| Amaranth | kengur: you're not supposed to be leeching anyway | 07:31 |

| Razor-X | frames are internet objects | 09:26 |
| HappyFool | c'mon, we don't need religious arguments here | 09:27 |
| EvanCarroll | Razor-X: it really has no connection to screen. the keys are very different it is much more an emacs window manager | 09:27 |
| Razor-X | well, yeah, it has emacs controls (my main detractor to it, but nothing much) | 09:27 |
| EvanCarroll | Razor-X: you stupid fuck frames are what ratpoison is based on rtfm or download it | 09:27 |
| Razor-X | I will ;) | 09:27 |
| EvanCarroll | Razor-X: you start out mono frame, you split verticle or horizontal to get two frames, you can have multiple windows maximized in each frame | 09:27 |
| EvanCarroll | but simple operations like resizing a frame to 800x600 aren't possible | 09:28 |
| Razor-X | well, you said it can't 'handle frames correctly' | 09:28 |
| xoz | ubotu: start a wm war | 09:28 |
| ubotu | xoz: Wish i knew | 09:28 |
| Razor-X | how's that possible if frames is an intrinsic construct of ratpoison? | 09:28 |
| EvanCarroll | no i didn't say that so don't quote it | 09:28 |
| HappyFool | xoz: yeah, i'm sorry already | 09:28 |

| Razor-X | *gasp* the grammatical difference! | 09:31 |
| EvanCarroll | Razor-X: the fashionon which frames are implimented ratpoison much as described on there sight is not made for those who like config files, it is made so you do all of the actions on the fly, the fashion in which you create frames is obsecure and the commands are convoluted | 09:31 |
| EvanCarroll | site* | 09:31 |
| Razor-X | EvanCarroll: well, an overamount of config files on slower boxes just makes configuration a pain | 09:31 |
| EvanCarroll | but it does impliment a frame correctly, a frame is still a frame, just the interface sucks | 09:31 |
| Razor-X | I know, XFce kicks ass | 09:32 |
| Razor-X | but, if you want to go even lighter than XFce, I just can't stand TWM | 09:32 |
| EvanCarroll | Razor-X: What if you want to start each ratposion session with the screen split such that the top window 800x600 is firefox, the remaining area on the right is two eterms split hoizontally, and one underneath the 800x600 static frame that you use to run your other programms like gnuchess | 09:32 |
| EvanCarroll | in ratpoison that config takes like 30 lines | 09:33 |
| Razor-X | yeah, that's true | 09:33 |
| EvanCarroll | and it is silly and sucks | 09:33 |
| Razor-X | but, I still prefer it over TWM | 09:33 |
| EvanCarroll | i was joking about TWM | 09:33 |
| Razor-X | but, yeah, XFce and Enlightenment kick ass | 09:33 |
| EvanCarroll | no one uses twm | 09:33 |

| Trixsey | marsh, think so? | 09:58 |

| Trixsey | Seveas, sorry I'm a Linux n00blar, whats "the reposatories"? | 09:59 |

| sasquatc3 | im trying to mount my usb drive, through dmesg i found that its on /dev/sda, and ubuntu recognizes it fine, but when i do a 'mount -t usbfs /dev/sda /media/usb' it doesnt complain, but i go into the folder and it just contains 3 subfolders of numbers and a file called devices | 10:57 |
| Seveas | IIIEars, lol :) | 10:57 |
| soccerfiend | grub works fine for a win only install | 10:57 |
